MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia will be paired with Arizona State in the Jan. 2 Cactus Bowl, a game short on prestige but rich with storylines as the Mountaineers face off against former defensive coordinators Todd Graham and Keith Patterson.
Settle in for a late-night kick. The game starts at 10:15 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
It will be played at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Mountaineers (7-5, 4-5) finished fifth in the Big 12 standings yet fell to the league’s seventh bowl affiliate after losing 24-23 to Kansas State in Saturday’s regular-season finale.
